Although often portrayed generically in media, decades of research have
revealed a staggeringly diverse range of equipment and uniforms used by
the Roman army, tracing how these changed through time and how regional
deployment caused additional variation. This new title reveals the
diversity in equipment and clothing in the Western Provinces across the
Roman army, from legions to local scouts.
Packed with full-color, specially commissioned illustrations and
information gleaned from the latest archaeological finds, this is a
detailed and informed analysis of the Roman army and the equipment and
clothing with which its troops were equipped.
